i don't really know what applications were shut down everytime it consumes the battery faster... however, been using this latest OS for 2 straight days now and the battery totally sucks... i can only use my battery for maximum of 6 hours... compared to .437, i can use it for 12 hours straight... downgraded to .437... that's more reliable in terms of battery...

Hello jaymisamis,

You say that you have been using this OS7.1.0.523 for 2 straight days, and the battery performance is not satisfactory to you.

Would you say 2 days is sufficient enough to call out a fair judgement on a brand new OS?

Have you pulled the battery out right after the install as you're supposed to let the OS time to settle?

I have personally tested all OS from .342 (very good), .355, .391, .402, .428, .437 (is terrible), and .523 is by far the best OS I've ever installed on my BlackBerry Bold 9900.

Anyone want to make a mirror link of the .exe... Blackberry keeps on giving me the 9900jAllLang_PBr7.1.0_rel1646_PL5.1.0.393_A7.1.0.5 23_AIS_Thailand but its actually 7.0.0.14 packed inside.

Edit: Found a way around it.. Blackberry Desktop found the update weirdly.

Hello bountyhunter53, this thread is OS7.1.0.523 for the BlackBerry Bold 9900, not OS7.0.0.14.

When you download the OS via the download link, install OS7.1.0.523 to your desktop (remove vendor.xml), and open BlackBerry Desktop Manager, it will find the latest OS via Local Installation, now follow the prompts.
